Most people grow up dreaming of going to Hollywood and some of them work and work and work and finally end up in Hollywood.

I had reconciled myself to being happily out to pasture, a bit.

The way it works in Hollywood is that if you're hot it doesn't matter if you're right for the part or not, you're just offered it.

My father was an academic, an eccentric. He was a lecturer.

It's very tough when two creative people are together.

There is nothing in my life where I view myself as a 1920s person.

I can't just sit around thinking how lucky I am.
